Kodi Fire Stick FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Kodi Fire Stick for Streaming Media

With no hacking, we can add some amazing (free) software to the Kodi Fire Stick. For example, we can add TVMC (which is just the Kodi app + TVAddons) for great streaming content. We can also add SNES9x and play some sweet Snessss games from back in the day. At $39, the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00ZVJAF9G” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]Kodi Fire Stick[/easyazon_link] is a formidable media machine.

Can I use multiple controllers for multiplayer mode in Fire TV Emulators?

Yes – I tested this. But it took 2 [easyazon_link identifier=”B002I0GX38″ locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]OUYA controllers[/easyazon_link]. These worked great – easy pairing. The controllers have 4 lights which I thought indicated the player number. The “#1″ position light was steady on both controllers, even though it was working great with the emulator as 2 independent players (I played 2-player Super Mario Kart, in fact). The indicator light on the [easyazon_link identifier=”B002I0GX38″ locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]OUYA controller[/easyazon_link] therefore must indicate the player position in respect to the FireTV – not the emulator (which makes sense). So yes, you can play 2-play emulators on FireStick by getting 2 OUYA controllers!

What apps are compatible with Kodi Fire Stick?

Many Android apps on the Google Play store – you just need to sideload these using an app called [easyazon_link identifier=”B00WQ7F9JM” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]Apps2Fire[/easyazon_link] or [easyazon_link identifier=”B00QX52SLA” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]APKFire[/easyazon_link]

Best Uses for Your FireTV

Use it as a retro gaming system and install RetroArch. RetroArch gives us an emulator for every gaming console we could ever want, including the big boys like SNES, N64, Sega, and MAME.

Get an [easyazon_link identifier=”B002I0GX38″ locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]OUYA Bluetooth controller[/easyazon_link] and play some games with it. The OUYA controller connects to the FireStick easily and has pre-made button layouts for many emulators.

[easyazon_link identifier=”B005V1N71W” locale=”US” tag=”arizonacaorg-20″]Pandora[/easyazon_link] and other great Android apps. Yes – you can install many Android apps on FireTV that aren’t necessarily “Amazon”-certified.

You can try using a FireStick remote app. We have had good luck with the Wukong Remote app. You install the app on your phone, connect it to your FireStick, and then use your phone like it’s your FireStick remote.

Also, the FireStick remote’s battery may also have gone dead. If so, you can push in near the indent and slide out. The battery door should easily slide off.

Ok I’m just curious I know no one is going to get in legal trouble because of all the gray areas and painstaking process of doing it but will your isp drop you if they find your traffic is kodi? Ultimately do you need a vpn or ip scrambler?

Your concerns are valid. ISPs do look for streaming of unlicensed content, so it’s definitely something to be careful about. It’s more likely that they’d just give you a warning first, then shut off your service the 2nd time.
